Therefore to properly break the cycle, the synthesis ending makes the most sense, at least in terms of high concept sci fi and not pew pew pew lasers sci fi.

Well that's my evaluation. I think the popularity of the indoctrination theory is an interesting phenomenon, but I don't understand how it's supposed to be an improvement or not lead to a whole new set of problems. It would essentially be trolling, like you say. It's clever in a way but in itself not a good ending at all. That would have really been showing the middle finger to the player. Like a bad joke. If something like that had happened, the game would have continued.

I assume they won't change the ending to that either.

At one point maybe a week ago there was a moment when the EA servers were down, I don't know for how long, and I actually couldn't start the game because the game couldn't "authenticate" the From Ashes DLC. It wouldn't load any save. That's bull####, even though it might have only been 15 minutes or whatever. Without the multiplayer, I'd feel tempted to torrent a cracked game that doesn't constantly check up on me.

By the way, did people here like the multiplayer? I think it's okay. Only 6 maps but the action gets pretty intense. It's a different game than the single player.

I'd love to hear what weapons and characters people have found most effective.

I dove into it right away, without a care in the world, which was kind of bad because I had no idea what I was supposed to do and how important it is to work as a team.

I do know what my major recurring error is: rushing to revive a team member in a situation that calls for more caution and then getting killed myself. That's when things go wrong for the team. When multiple players start falling at the same time, your team is often in serious trouble. The first priority is to stay alive.
